Default How well does rio yellow hide dirt, scratches, etc

I plan on picking up a new s2k within the coming week or two and was wondering how well rio yellow hides dirt? Is it anywhere as bad as black where it gets dirty within a day or two?

If you love the car, and get the color you want, dont worry if you have to clean more often.

Cars get dirty. Just clean it more often. I usually get it washed once a week. A clean S2 looks awesome.

If its anything like spa, it hides dirt and scratches great. Yellow always looks clean. Its nothing like black or any other dark colors that show everything.

Summer bonus, hides pollen well to.

I have a Rio and love the color, wouldn't have anything else.

There's two things you need to be aware of though.

1. When you get paint chips (and you will get paint chips), the primer appears to be black so that the black primer makes chips really obvious on the Rio Yellow body.

2. The Honda touch up paint sucks. It looks nothing like the original color.
